LEVITICUS CHAPTER 5 If a man heard or knew of blasphemy, and concealed it, he must atone it, LEVITICUS 5:1.

TOUCH ANY UNCLEAN THING, to wit, ceremonially; of which see more fully LEVITICUS 11:24, &c.; DEU 14.

QUEST. How comes confession and a sacrifice to be necessary for him that touched an unclean thing, when such persons were cleansed with simple washing, as appears from LE 11 NUM 19 ? ANSW.

IF A SOUL COMMIT A TRESPASS against the Lord and his priests. AND SIN THROUGH IGNORANCE; for if a man did it knowingly, he was to be cut off, NUMBERS 15:30.
